Precision Measurement Grants Program | NIST https://www. nist. gov/programs-projects/precision-measurement-grants-program Precision Measurement Grants Program Since 1970, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has awarded Precision Measurement Grants for significant research in the field of fundamental measurement or the determination of fundamental constants.
NIST sponsors these grants to encourage basic, measurement related research in universities and colleges and other research laboratories and to foster contacts between NIST scientists and those faculty members of academic institutions and other researchers who are actively engaged in such work.
The Precision Measurement Grants are also intended to make it possible for researchers to pursue new ideas in areas where other sources of support may be difficult to find. If funding is available, one new grant in the amount of $50,000 per year will be awarded for the initial period of October 1 through September 30 of the following year.
The award may be continued for up to two additional years; however, future or continued funding will be at the discretion of NIST based on satisfactory performance, continuing relevance to program objectives, and the availability of funds. ATTENTION: PRE-APPLICATIONS (ABBREVIATED PROPOSALS) TENTATIVELY MUST BE RECEIVED ELECTRONICALLY VIA GRANTS. GOV NO LATER THAN 11:59 PM EASTERN TIME ON APRIL 9, 2026.

MGPV Travel Grant is sponsored by Geological Society of America (GSA), Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Petrology, Volcanology Division. MGPV Travel grants support student travel to the annual GSA meeting. Applications are restricted to active graduate or undergraduate students who are the presenting authors of an accepted abstract at the annual GSA meeting.
Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Science (ROSES) - 2025: A.4 Rapid Response and Novel Research in Earth Science is sponsored by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This omnibus research funding opportunity includes various program elements, with rolling submissions for Earth Science research through August 2026. Proposers to Earth Science using the NASA Center for Climate Simulation high-end computing facility must include specific budget details.
NIST is pausing all submissions under the CRDO Broad Agency Announcement (2025-NIST-CHIPS-CRDO-01) on September 15, 2026 for system upgrades — no white papers, no pre-negotiation packages, no investment fund applications until roughly November. Here is what the pause means for a $10M-minimum rolling BAA that runs through 2029, and how to use the dark window.
Read articleThe FY2026 MEP Center State Competition ran in two rounds: eight states worth $139.1 million, then fourteen more worth $232.4 million, both closing August 21, 2026. That's 43 percent of the national network recompeted in twelve months, under a 50 percent non-federal cost share, while the administration's own budget request proposed eliminating the program. Here's what the award tables reveal, why incumbents are genuinely at risk, and how to position for the FY2027 wave.
Read articleNIST's July 2026 MEP funding opportunity opens 14 state and territory centers — from California's $15.6M to Alaska's $706K — to new operators under cooperative agreements requiring a 50% nonfederal match. Applications are due August 21, 2026, with a July 28 webinar. Here is who can compete, how the match works, and why this recompete matters for every small manufacturer in those 14 states.
